“Beautiful - once you can find it!”

This is a lovely cottage in a wonderful location. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable, and the local scenery is quite breath taking. The village itself is charming, with a wonderful ruined manor house and fabulous little café/restaurant which offers great pies to warm you up after a strenuous walk.
One tip - the remote location defeated my sat nav and I needed to make a few calls to Jane who patiently guided us in. Take a good map or written instructions and your life will be a lot easier.

“This is a lovely cottage in a ...”

This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the country, and I would thoroughly recommend it. One word of warning: its location defeated my sat nav and I strongly recommend anyone visiting to take a map and/or written instructions on how to get there. But this is a very minor gripe, we had a wonderful time once we found it.

“A picture-postcard-perfect holiday cottage, minutes walk from th”

From the moment we arrived, we were made really welcome - homemade cake, jams, bread, and even a bottle of wine were left for us in the cottage. The inside was tastefully decorated, with all those lovely crafty things that you'd like to buy, if only they'd go with the decor of your own home. The patio area was a delight to sit in, surrounded by colourful floral displays, and the larger garden area was well maintained. The cottage is minutes walk from Wycoller village, where there's a lovely tea shop. There are also walks along the riverside. A short drive through beautiful countryside takes you to Colne, where there is a supermarket and several places to eat. There are also a number of good pubs within a few minutes' drive. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a great place to stay, which could easily be overlooked through not being in the major tourist areas. Do take a look!

“Tucked away in deepest Lancashire”

Oaklands self-catering (& B & B) is run by Jane and Steve Collins who are charming, friendly, helpful hosts. The small cottage attached to the owners property is oldy worldly in the best sense. It has modern touches like wi-fi and 2 tv's (luxury, one in the bedroom) and a wood burning stove which keeps the cottage toasty warm.
Everything you could need for a very comfortable stay is provided - from the quirky china and ornaments to a perfectly formed modern bathroom and super-comfortable bedroom.
The hamlet of Wycoller is fascinating and very photogenic.

About the location

WYCOLLER

Skipton 12 miles; Haworth 10 miles.

Wycoller (from the Anglo Saxon Wic-Alr, meaning dairy farm among the alder trees) is located just 10 miles from Haworth, located in the civil parish of Trawden Forest, a conservation area. Dating back to the 10th Century the area is famous for the ruins of Wycoller Hall where Charlotte Bronte set parts of her famous novel, Jane Eyre. Clapper Bridge is close to the ruins of Wycoller Hall and probably dates from the late 18th or early 19th century, whilst Clam Bridge is a single slab laid across Wycoller Beck and is more than 1000 years old and is listed as an Ancient Monument. A short drive brings you to nearby Haworth, home to the famous Bronte sisters, who were inspired by the surrounding moorland to pen their novels which have become classics of English Literature. Haworth is a village that time almost forgot, with its myriad of curiosity and antique shops, alleyways and cobbled streets creating a wonderful period atmosphere and all this against a backdrop of countryside famously described in the novel Wuthering Heights as wild, rugged and barren. Nearby the famous Worth Valley Railway, an authentic steam railway brought to prominence in the film â€˜The Railway Children' provides a lovely day out with a regular service to the old village of Oxenhope. The area abounds with popular places to visit, including the Bronte Parsonage Museum, East Riddlesden Hall, and the Museum of Rail. The market town of Skipton, Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, is just a short drive away, and also within reach are elegant Harrogate and vibrant Leeds and Manchester.
